    I’m 165cm (5’4")

    Everything I say is a short guy thing to say

    I can’t believe so many men are insecure about being me. I’m me and it’s pretty damn cool. The feeling of fresh grass on my chin in the spring… the cover of mushrooms when it rains… the company of leprechauns… I see only pros and no cons

    I’m so glad I’m not short. Short guys just get shit on so much. Been at parties where someone just out of nowhere says “You’d be hot if you wasn’t short”. Like imagine that for anything else “you’d be hot if you wasn’t black”. “You’d be hot if you wasn’t in a wheelchair” just getting shit on for genetics.

    Same girls also cry murder if somebody says something about a fat girl, which is in their control.

      For the shorties out there.

      Own yourself, short king, and people will be drawn to you like magic. It’s not confidence, it’s loving and accepting yourself. That’s all. Self-love creates a gravity for more love.

      Anyone so shallow that they would judge you by your height is someone you don’t want be involved with. As soon as you get to know someone, their appearance ceases to matter and all that is left is the human being underneath. Consider those situations bullets dodged.

        As a short dude myself I wish this were true. I’m confident and have accepted my fate. Yet even when I thought we were grooving and clearly compatible I’d still get hit with “sorry you’re not tall enough,” even when she was like 5’0. I don’t know how the hell I got lucky to get my wife, but she’s clearly the exception not the norm.

        I mean yea.

        But we need to accept life is harder for short guys. If you just want to get laid, harder. If you want a promotion, harder. If you want to be treated nicer, harder.

        All those things you said help and are good. But not not pretend hightism doesn’t exist.

    This kinda reads as a list of things an obviously butthurt person would say

    A chunk of them would just be pretty hilarious to say to me as an obviously big guy

    Ok?

    Why though? Isn’t there enough misery and shittiness in the world as is? Why stoke the hostility?

    For fun?

    I love how OP restricted themselves to only respond in the mentioned phrases and how some have quite the reaction. Got me rolling.

    I’m actually a little surprised at the reactions in this thread. When I read this, I was thinking of my husband and friends I could casually drop these lines on, and it’s something we’d all laugh about. I guess I just wasn’t thinking of someone using any of these lines sincerely or maliciously, and idk I didnt get the vibe that OP is just a straight cunt that hates men. But I could be totally wrong.

    At any rate, somewhere in the thread below, u/wonderingwanderer created an alternate woman ragebait list, and that shit was hilarious as well. My personal favorite was “Act your weight”.

      I don’t know chippy, but I don’t get that vibe either. I can tell you that wanderingwonderer is known for throwing a tantrum every time men come up in conversation, so :shrug:

      Was act your weight at the bottom of that list? That is fucked up. xD

    I vote we make “big truck energy” the opposite of “big dick energy”. Like: “you’re giving real big truck energy right now.”

    You’d better be at least 6’7" before saying most of that to me since it won’t make any sense otherwise. But joke’s on you anyway since I’d just fall in love
